Springtime Snowmobiles!

In keeping with normal fashion, Dad and I just got the snowmobiles "summerized."  We always have good intentions of doing this in March, but it always gets put on the back burner.  The one nice thing about waiting is that we can use the outside water to wash the sleds up good!

The "summerizing" went well, we got both sleds greased and washed up.  I got mine fogged, but Dad's got some water in the electrical system and wasn't running right, so we will have to wait and get his fogged once it dries out!

My snowmobile cover started to self destruct this year.  After a day of riding on one of the trips we took, we all put our covers over our sleds so we wouldn't have to brush off the predicted 6+ inches of snow in the morning.  This worked out great, but the heat from the snowmobile engine actually melted the snow as it fell and created a layer of ice on my snowmobile cover.  When I went to tighten the cover down for the trip home, the ice wouldn't allow the cover to tighten and ripped the material.  Since I didn't want to leave the cover all ripped open for the summer, I started looking for a new one.  I found one online from a local used snowmobile part supplier HERE for $70 shipped.  The was an actual Ski-Doo cover for my style of snowmobile.  After a couple days it arrived and it fits great!  I am very happy with how it looks and the quality of the construction.  If you look close you can see the stretchy material around where the handlebars go, this is the same area where my old cover tore at!
